Mega Man: Robot Master Field Guide

 The charming tale of a robot boy and his robot dog

Udon. Mega Man: Robot Master Field Guide. Richmond Hill, Ont. : Udon Entertainment Corp., 2012.

Plot: The text offers a visual guide to the robots and humans involved in the Classic Mega Man franchise. Each entry includes the robot's creator, biography, and weakness. Additionally, the entries include artistic illustrations and in-game graphics.

Genre: Video Games

Reading Level: Grades 5-10

Similar Titles: Megaman Battle Network: The Complete Works, Mega Man: Official Complete Works

Personal Thoughts: This, surprisingly, is not a completely self-serving read. True, the franchise is over 30 years old, is no longer particularly aimed at tweens, and tends have a simplistic plot. However, Nintendo recently announced Classic Mega Man as a character in an upcoming Super Smash Bros. game, bringing the blue bomber back into the public eye.
